is this game more of a sim or a simcade?

[CoolPsyco]

got into codemaster games from grid2. i like it very much. but then i went into racedriver grid and i absolutely love it. craving for those codies game i play dirt 3. now i want to get into coddies f1, but does the handling and physics of this game more to the sim or to the simcade? or maybe you can set it to sim or simcade depending whay setting you put in?
i play grid with controller so i play with automatic, put abs and stability on with traction off with the difficulty that give you 3 flashback. im bit more on the casual side on the setting so i can enjoy the race and not get frustrated hence why i only turn off traction.
so, how is it on f1 2019? should i consider playing this game with the way i play other coddies title or nah?

fyi i also have no single idea about f1 racing. ahahaha

more sim. many f1 drivers actually use the program for dry training.

They don't. They use rFactor to simulate the F1 cars

even alonso on instagram said he used rfactor, I play only with dynamic line (only curves) and the rest disable with IA on 95-100% , all this with a controller

Yeah I mean they play some racing games but at the time of simulating a real F1, rFactor is the most realistic game for that (Thats what they say)

Do you think anyone can answer that question accurately? :D
I mean to know that you should first drive a F1 car and I doubt anyone drived an F1 here.
Dont think is too much is just a game, if you like F1, buy it. That's all you need to care about

First the question what is a simulation! The simulation is an experiment to get insights about a real system! Thus, for me all games are not a simulation, but the publication of the findings! Few of us would really love a Formula One car on the limit and there are other "simulations" that bring us closer to that. For me, F1 2019 is a good game, not more or less, but with the reality of driving, it's not real and it can not be honest!

i cant really agree with this because that mean a game that was meant to be a simulation of the real thing like assetto corsa is not a simulation by that logic.
just read this article
https://virtualracingschool.com/academy/iracing-career-guide/before-you-get-started/arcade-vs-simcade-vs-simulators/

"With sims, the choices made by their developers lean towards realism, not gameplay. They’re still games, but also tools. Many real racing drivers use them to learn the tracks and the cars for real life racing, testimony of all these drivers who use iRacing."

now, the thing what i want to know is weather this game have the handling toward realism. or like grid, where it try to hit the spot between realism and fun. hence why the dev and people call it "Simcade" a mix between sim and arcade..

Came across the article looking for a review of the game. Along the way I found this. I think someone who races F1 would have the best advice on what to race if you are looking for a simulator.
